It’s a healthy challenge to raise someone different than you. To try to relate and understand where they’re coming from. It has definitely gotten me out of my comfort zone… to embrace a more physical, tactile approach to the world and to notice things I normally wouldn’t. Like the number of trucks (of any variety!) we pass on a drive on the highway. Or sound a rock makes when you drop it on the pavement. Our boys are mischievous and spirited…. curious and carefree…and did I mention mischievous? They are energy and wonder and play. They are constantly in motion and exploring the world around them. These guys know how to live life out loud–which is something I’ve never quite figured out. While they are totally different–Elijah being more reserved and Austin not possessing any kind of filter—they both definitely live out loud!
